After the loss in the Nations League at Friends arena, the 20-year-old went straight through the so-called mixed zone, in the company of the national team’s acting press manager Niclas Green, without stopping and talking to any journalists.
– It’s as new to me as it is to you, so I do not know. I hope he will show up later at the collection. But I do not know, says Niclas Green.
Green is asked if Elanga has made any demands on how many meetings with journalists he will do during the national team gathering.
– He really has no demands at all. Since I’m new to this role, I sat down with him and said, “I would like you to do this and if you do this, I’ll make sure you do not have to do so many other things that you are not. used to doing. ” And he was fine with that. So in my world – yes, it’s his and my deal that went like this. And I understand that it’s unfortunate. Of course, I would like him to actually talk. But today – loss. He said, “Knalla.” And I said, “Okay, then let’s go,” Green says.
Green confirms that Elanga asked not to have to talk to the journalists. But it was mainly because of the loss as such, and not because of Elanga’s efforts.
– He does not want to talk now. And for some reason he was pretty clear about it, says Green.
Green was asked if Elanga knows that it is very unusual not to stop and talk to the journalists.
– He knows that it is unusual, says Green.
